Mobile Phones in 10 Year’s Time
06.18.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI’ve been writing over at Opinions in Mobile for a while now. The idea is that they send out a question very week to a panel of industry thought leaders (and me) and everyone responds with a short and pithy post. There really are some heavyweight thinks from around the world involved - I won’t [...]

2009 Predictions 7, 8, 9 and 10
01.13.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsFinally, here are my last lot of Predictions for 2009.
7. Mobile Payments Gain Traction
Ultimately, I believe that the mobile will swallow up the credit card industry, just as it’s fundamentally changed the photo business and decimated alarm clock and calculator sales. But it’s going to be pretty tricky getting from where we are today to [...] -

Pretty unequivocal that. Currently, [...] -

12.20.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAnd we roll on from Part 1 with the second installment of my 2009 predictions…
6. WiMAX networks become a success, at least in the US.
WiMAX largely been a moot point in the US thus far, but it should enter the mainstream in 2009. It’ll find success as more WiMAX-capable devices emerge, in all sorts of [...] -

2009 Predictions, Part 1
12.19.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsFollowing my, uh, stellar performance in 2008, here are my predictions for 2009. This was pretty tough, actually, as it was hard to see much past the doom and gloom of the economy to much brightness and light. There’s some, though. As usual, leave your comments and predictions, or a link to them, in the [...]

2008 Predictions Reviewed
12.12.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI hate going over my predictions, as generally, the MO is that you ignore the things you got wrong, and hope that everybody else forgets, while elsewhere trumpeting the things you got right as a sign of your genius.

2008 Predictions (Part 2)
12.10.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsYesterday, I reviewed my first 5 predictions for the year of 2008 and gave myself 4 out of 5, so far. And I think perhaps I even deserve a 1/2 point for the one I got wrong.
Today, we’ll look at the other 5.

2008 Predictions
12.09.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsAs we move into that Predictions time of the year, it’s worth just reviewing how I did on my thoughts of what 2008 would hold.

What Will Happen in 2009?
12.02.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsIt’s become something of a MobHappy tradition to do our predictions for the New Year and I’m sure we’ll be doing the same thing towards the end of 2008. A quick look at our predictions for this year also indicates that the boys have done good again, but we’ll be reviewing them in due course [...]
